In all of my articles this summer, I’ve talked about completing an outfit with a significant detail. Sometimes I’ve mentioned intangible things like confidence, and other times material things like oxfords. However, the most significant idea that truly matters when wearing an outfit is how good you feel it makes you feel. When I took a picture of this Fashionista, you could easily tell that she felt great in what she was wearing. Yves Saint Laurent once said: “Fashions fade, but style is eternal.” This quote is one of my favorites because it means that fashion is made up of a lot of fads, but fads that aim to make your personal style shine.

This Fashionista was not one that I spotted completely randomly and not one to follow trends just for the heck of it. A fellow intern at one of my internships this summer, this Fashionista had an amazing and creative outfit every single day I was there. Here, she wears a chambray button-down with a burgundy skirt, a cute brown belt and brown and black flats to match. She makes the look really sing with some gold accessories: a necklace, a watch and bold hoop earrings. Moreover, the use of gold accessories and an awesome hair style can really make an outfit come together. Pair an amazing gold necklace, earrings and bracelet with a plain black bodycon dress, some gold heels and a sleek ponytail. You’ll truly feel like a rock star because somehow, wearing gold objects has a certain way of making you feel good about yourself.

How To: Want to look good to feel good with some major gold accessories? Well, take a note from this Fashionista, and wear some gold shoes, a gold necklace, gold bracelets and gold petal earrings with a denim top and printed skirt to finish off a great look. However, if you’re going to take away any detail from all of the articles that I wrote this summer, you have to make sure you feel great in the outfit you choose to wear. Once you feel and act confident with your style, you’ll always feel as good as gold.
